What we are and do….
We are a grant giving charity that enables like minded people to come along to the town centre of Swadlincote and display their vehicles, with the opportunity to win trophies. We engage with the businesses in the town centre and those fro the area, who have space in the town on the day to promote their businesses and engage with the local and wider public, having live entertainment and special activities for all ages.
‘Putting Swadlincote on the map’
Chairs Report
It has been my great pleasure to be a part of this annual event that brings in people from all over the country, and engages with a lot of local residents, many bringing a long their vehicles, and some showing off their many talents- from our great local vocalists, dancers, and also crafter’s, cake makers. It is an opportunity for local businesses those based within the town and those in the wider area to enable locals and not so local’s to find out about their businesses. Luckily we was blessed with the weather, every year we worry about this because all the planning if the weather is against us it ‘puts a dampener’ on the day.
Swadlincote Festival of Transport, is a CIO that likes to work with and support local groups and individuals, some of these donations are not made public knowledge, however any local group, or small charity can make application for a donation.
